Photographing the Babies.

The day Of crying babies, laughing babies,
kicking babies, and babies generally afflicted
with antics, is over In the photograph world.
The instantaneous method has worked com.
plete revolution. Before the child can recover
from its amazement at its strange surround
iDgs and alter its expression into one of Joy
or wailing, the instrument has accomplished
its work and the photograph is taken. The
average babys expression, therefore, as seen
in photographs, is simply one Of contempla.
tive astonishment. The other babies are seen
no longer in photographers collections.
There are more babies taken nude than
formerly. That is the favorite style for the
present. Mothers display commendable pride
in the perfect proportions and rounded limbs
of their little ones
II attribute the recent craze for having
babies photographed nude" said man who
has been taking pictures for more years than
most Of the mothers have lived, ITO higher
development of art appreciation. There is
nothing so lovely in existence as that emblem
Of innocence, a cherub, and many mothers
are wise enough to take advantage of that
fact, and to have their babies photographed
so as to display all their infantile lov eliness.

Bands in tire Rival Camps.

While the army, or while the two armies,
were in camp at Chattanooga spent good
many nights at the outposts, and l never had
so keen an appreciation of music as on the
beautiful moonlight nights when scores of
bands in the rival camps would play for the
half hour preceding taps On one side was a
canvas city Of $1,000 stalwart men in blue.
Over on Mission Ridge and little beyond
were as many men in gray. There were
probably twenty or thirty excellent bands in
each army, and when they all played, ma
tional airs on one side, Confederate airs on
the other, ths pickets midway between the
monster camps had the benefit of both con-
certs.
/ remember one night after most of the
bands had retired from the contest three OF
four of the best in each army played for an
hour or more as If in rivalry In the Union
camp, after the band had rendered Hail
Columbia, there would be cheer on cheer
from 10000 throats. At the same time the
strains of Bonnie Blue Flag would come
from the other side, to be followed by cheer
on cheer from as many men. At last the
band on the Union side struck up The Girl /
Left Behind Me- and for minute there was
silence over in the other camp; then the Con-
federate band caught up the same strain and
they played it together to the end Then, as il
by common impulse, came cheer on cheer from
both camps, and the pickets, throwing caution
to the winds, stood up and chsered together.

rhe Easter IsIand Imaces.


Lieut.. Stone, who secured the prehistoric
stone image from Easter island for the
Smithsonian institution while attached to the
Mohican, stated TO a reporter that the image,
which is now on its way here, is about s feet
high. 4 feet wide and 8 feet thick. 1t is
roughly carved or heWed. Ahead OF another
image was also secured, and some of the Off
GERS obtained by purchase other curiosities,
which could not be obtained elsewhere, wbicn
the Smithsonian will probably take off their
hands The images, he said, are scattered all
over the island, although many of them have
been thrown from their pedestals and broken.
1t was customary for the natives to erect
them over the cemeteries. They would bury
their dead in cells with stone walls on three
sides and with an inclined wall Of earth in the
rear. They would cover over the burial cells
and form a top of fagstones to the platform,
on which would be placed from three TO
dozen images overlooking the sea, according
to the size of the platform.
The images were made from conglomerate
stone in the side of crater and hewn with
stone axes, and by cutting through single
stratum the image could be easily separated
from the next stratum and then moved on an
incline and erected. The images are of differ
ent sizes, the largest one being about 20 feet
long, but this was never removed and lies in
its bed in the side of the crater where the
work was commenced. The ststue secured
by the Moh1can was found about two miles
from the shore. 1t took about eighty men
two days to bring it down on rollers. Lieut.
Stone said tie present inhabitants know
nothing about the images or the fresco deco
rations of the houses, but they intuiCively
bury their dead in close proximity to thess
statutes s.-W ashington Star.

Test for a Gentleman.

II have here the best test for gentleman
that there is in New York, =" said the old, gray
haired servitor in the blue naval cap who
wanders about the corridors of the postoffice.
"a gentleman will never let the door slam in
the face of a man or woman who is follow
ing, no matter how much engrossed in other
things be may be. A gentleman will always
hold the door open until the person behind
him gets his hand upon it. Judged by that
test there are not very many gentlemen in
New York city. kept kind of score for an
hour the other morning of the number of per-
sons who showed any consideration for their
fellow beings. There were 1,116 persons
went through the doors in that time, and of
these 1 saw eighty-seven stop and hold the
door so it would not slam against those be-
hind them. Fourteen, all smart young fell
lows, bank clerks or something like that,
judged, threw the doors wide open, so that
they might slam back the harder. The rest
showed no knowledge whether that there
were any other persons in the world than
themselves. All of these were men. l kept
no count of the women. Why notl Because
in all my life / never saw a woman hold a
door for anybody except for her own child.
They just open the doors wide enough to
squeeze through and slip out edgeways, so it
doesn't make much difference anyway

The Contradicto,.v Rrahm,n

The brahmin is bundle of extraordinary
contradictions Witness him buying load
of wood from a pariah. He halls the un-
fortunate creature, who, setting down his
burden, edges away while the brahmin ex-
amines it. The brahmin then moves away.
The pariah approaches the wood, and with
his band before his mouth, lest his breath
touch the person of the august purchaser, he
concludes the sale No pariah uses the pub
lie highway made by British money and un-
der British supervision while noble brahnin
passes. Brahmin youths are beset from their
birth with tedious restrictions; the dignity of
their race and their own dignity is a theme
which never tires with their parents. Per-
haps their only luxury is that of taking snuff,
and in this even the law interferes and lays
down a certain age when they may begin; TO
taking can only begin with matrimony.

Man,s He,rb, and weiobt.

On the average child from months to 8
years grows in height about 6 per cent each
year. The weight of the body goes on in
creasing to the sth year, rising in boys to so
pounds and in girls to AZ. From the sth
year until puberty boys increase in height So
per cent. each year; they gain about pounds
in weight per year and girls little more, so
that in the 18th year children of both sexes
weigh, on the avsrage, about 20 pounds.
From 13 to 20 years youths grow some 30 per
cent. and girls 20. The increase of weight is
even more rapid than before, reaching 145
pounds in boys IS years old and girls Of the
same age about II pounds less. In his 4Oth
year man attains his maximum weight, say
159 pounds, and then begins to lose flesh, but
women continue to grow heavier, reaching
about 10 pounds less at the 10th year, but
more than men at the 50th. Between IS and
90 men become corpulent and women rapidly
grow older.-Swiss Gross.

PLANTS THAT ARE POISONOUS.
Members of the Sumach Family Which
Are to Be Avoided-Renedies.

Members of the Sumach Family Which
Are to Be Avoided-Renedies-
There are many species Of these plants be
longing TO the sumach family-known to the
botanisE under the general name Of rhrs-
widely scattered throughout North America.
The most important are the poison oak,
shrub from one to three feet high, its leaves
having three leaflets; pCiscu ivy, which is, of
course. vine; and poison slmach, or swamp
sumach, also popularity called dogwood, and
scientifically known as rhus venenata, or
poisonous rhus. Each is well known where it
is common They are all similar in their
poisonous character.
While many persons are wholly unsuscep-
tible TO their poison, many others are poisoned
by handlir the plants, and some even by the
emanations from them The suffering from
these poisons is severe. There is an intoler-
able itching and burning, and if another part
of the body is brought into contact with the
affected part it becomes equally affected. The
whole body sometimes swells, and there are
local infammations and pustules filed with
an acrid fluid.
The question Of cure is one Of much i'm
portance to the sufferer. Some of the reme-
dies which have been suggested are useless;
others painful; others dangerous. The
Medical Record contains communications
on the subject from several physicians,
each giving his own experience, with
remedies employed by him.
Dr. R. G. Williams, of Whitney, Texas,
writes that strong decoction of the common
cup oak bark, boiled to the consistency of
tar, and applied by means Of camers hair
brush, or an ordinary brush or mop, two or
three times, is very efficacious.
Dr. J. B. Kell, of Delphos, Ohio, had him
self been poisoned six times, the last attack
rendering his features barely recognizable.
What sufferers generally want is immediate
relief of the smarting pain and intense itch
ing. While he found the common remedies
beneficial, he did not obtain the desired relief
until he applied to the infiamed parts a satu-
rated solution of potassium chlorate The effect
of this is exceedingly gratifying The linen
with which it is applied should be changed
once an hour.
DR.. J. R. Flowers, of Columbus, Ohio, says
of a severe case @An old native Indian gath
cred quantity of boneset, and after pound
ing the tops and leaves to a pulp applied it to
the parts effected during the night The next
morning the swelling had all disappeared
Since that time have used the fluid extracts
of the same for all my cases, and the result
has been an immediate cure. Several Of my
medical friends have tried it, and the result
has in every case been very satisfactory"-

Plymouth church had his case in hand. I
caught him in the lecture room, and all the
while he talked he kept shifting at superb
rose. When we parted he put the flower in
the buttonhole of my coat and patted me on
the back, saying: "Carry little summer

gave it to me, begged it from me. So the

He has said the sweetest of human
words,
Sweeter than any song of birds
81 love you"
Better than wealth, or jewels rare,
Fsirer than any flower is fair,
Gladding the heart like the morning sun,
Are these words from the lips of pre-
cious one
IL love you"
The eyes may speak it, the fingers tell
The beautiful story we love SO well,
But best of all is the whisper low
From soul as white as the falling
snow
81 love you."
In the saddest hour of the darkest night
There comes again to my longing sight
The tender look of the soft brown eyes.
And listen anew with glad surprise,
81 love you"
Comes into nv heart with mystic power.
| ask no more than that sacred hour
To cherish and hold till eyes grow din.
And the life to come is a life with him
Il love you"

Catarrh to Consumption.

Caarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t is, there
fore, singular that those afflicted with this fear
full disease should not make it the object of their
lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies
concocted by ignorant pretenders to medical knowl-
edge have weakened the confidence of the great ma
iority of sufferers in all advertised remedies They
become resigned to life of misery rather than tor
ture themselves with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combatted with all our might. In
many The disease has assumed dangerous SYM

gans of hearing of seeing and of tasting affected
to be useless, the uvula elongated the throat
